And another new mammal species - Daubenton's Bat

I came across the fourth Bat species for the site in an unfortunate manner, when I contemplated lighting a first fire of the year in the log burner and found a dead bat amongst the ash. It looks like it has been there a while and maybe this was a young bat that had not yet got to grips with what was and was not a suitable roosting place. Anyway the small positive I take from this is that I can add Daubenton's Bat (Myotis daubentoni) to the mammal list alongside Common and Soprano Pipistrelles and of course Lesser Horseshoes.
